Lamar's Holiday Visit.

MACON, Ca, Dec. 3i.--Secretary Lamar is
spending the holidays at his home, surrounded
by his kith and kin and the friends of his early
manhood. He has met with an enthusiastic re-
ception and has been rendered banquet, which,
however, nc has declined. The reports relative
to his immediate marriage are idle surn,ises; but
it is true that he is engaged to the lady often
named, and that the engagement meets the on.
tire approval of both the families concerned. It
is also absolutely certain that no time has yet
been fixed for the marriage ceremony. The
lady is not of the fashionable world. and she has
hitherto found moro interest 10 domestic occu-
patons and quiet charities than in the fashiona-
bic pleasures of society.

LABOR MATTERS.

Powderly's Alleged Intentions.
New YORK. Dec 31-The Herald says
Members of District Assembly 40 smile at the
idea Of an Improved order of Knights of Labor
and state that no such a thing exists. and that
even if it did it amounts to nothing. There is.
however, such an organization. although it i
not very prominent at present Should . spe-
cial meeting of the General Assembly be held.

mond meeting be undone, and all matters be set
right it is very probable that no more will b
heard of the improved order but should spe-
cial meeting not be called. and dissatisfaction
continue to spread, the improved order wilt
probably have boom.

cause of labor. and whose honesty more can

THE Pittsburg Dispatch intimates that the
reports that the natural gas is giving out in
that city are circulated by interested parties
to injure the city. 1t adds: Every manu-
facturer and dweller in this city knows that
the quantity of gas lately being supplied is
larger far than it was before; that the service
has been more regular; that the wells in the
great fields upon which Pittsburg depends do
not show signs of exhaustion" The perma-
nency of the supply is one of the most impor-
tant questions connected with natural gas
Necessarily, discussion on the point must be
largely conjectural, for as it is impossible to
know with certainty where OF how the gas is
generated it is equally impossible to know

FATHER GALEOTE.

The Supreme Tribunal Refuses to Commute

MADRID, Dec. 3l.-The Supreme Tribunal has
refused to commute the sentence of Father
Galeote, who was convicted of the murder Of
Mgr. Isouierdo and condemned to death.
Father Galeote Is the priest who in order to
revenge himself for an order of suspension in

Galeote will be solemnly and publicly degraded

THE Cincinnati Sun is making bold and
manly fight for Democratic reform within
the party. This is a big contract, but the
Sun goes at the work with an apparent APP
probation Of its magnitude. AS starting
point, it is demanding thorough investiga-
ton of the Ohio election frauds and pouring
hot shot into the Mclean crowd. The Sun
says:
"Judge Wylie, of the Common Pleas Court
of Franklin county, is being congratulated
from all parts of the State, and by the
| respectable elements of both parties, for his
honesty and courage in granting a special
| grand jury to inquire into the cases of the
| men who are alleged to have forged the tally
sheets of the Thirteenth ward Of the city of
Columbus. A stupendous howl was raised by
| the Mclean organs when it was proposed to
call special jury to hear these cases, and
Judge Wylie was soemnly advised that the
whole matter should be ignored. He was re-
minded by the gangsters that regular grand
| jury had heard all the testimony that was
available, and had found that there was moth
ing whatever in the case; that the scandal had
been trumped up to injure the Democratic
party, and that he should not allow his court
to be used for any such purpose. The men
ton of the Democratic party in this connec-
ton was wholly gratuitous. 1t Is John K.
McLean's tactics to hold up the Democratic
party in front of him to shield him from any
threatened harm. Let Il be known in Column
bus and elsewhere that the McLeans and the
Democratic party are as far apart as the poles.
The Democratic party of Ohio is the party OF
honesty and integrity. The Mclean gang is
the opposite of this. It is all that is corrupt
and dishonorable in politics and in business
Therefore the Democratic party must not be
conjured to brighten away Investigation al
Columbus. This has been done too often
already
| Yes, it has been done too often, and il
other States than Ohio. The situation al
Columbus, as described by the Sun, and the
existing one in this city are strikingly similar
There is. however, this difference: There is
no Democratic paper here to denounce the
fraud aad its perpetrators and read them GU
Of the Democratic party.

JUDGE GRESHAM.
He Intends to Remain on the Bench, and
Thinks Mr.. Blaine Will Be Nominated.

He Intends to Remain the Bench, and
Thinks Mr.. Blaine Will BE Nominated,
New York Tribune.
The name of Judge W. @. Gresham, of Indi-
ana, has been heard often recently in connection
with the presidency in 1883. 1t is not long since
the newspapers contained stories about a con-
ference that was held in this city to boom him
for that office. Then came his decision in the
Wabash case, which caused Jay Gould to de-
clare that Gresham had rendered it for the pur-
pose of making capital for a presidential con-
test. A Tribune reporter saw a letter to-day
written by Judge Gresham since that opinion
was delivered, in which he refers to the reports
of the conference, and says that he doubts
whether 1t was ever held. He declares that it is
his intention to remain on the bench perma.
nently. Probably the most remarkable thing in
the letter. when considered as coming from q
former member of President Arthur's Cabinet,
aud from one whose name was being pushed to
the front by the former Arthur leaders, is q
statement of opinion that Mr.. Blame will be his
party's nominee in 1883, providing he is willing
to accept the position and will be elected. The
gentleman in whose possession the letter has
come although he has permitted several persons
to see it. has thus far refused to allow 1t to be
published.
